Credit to Pulis for getting West Brom into the top 10 too! That was a very ordinary side, especially in the first half!
Enjoyed watching that from a sunny hotel room in Athens! what a difference for me not being up at 4am. Good performance all round but I am so stoked with the way Yoshida has come on this year, that was one of the best performances Ive ever seen from him. Really good to see some of the 2nd string players getting some time on the pitch, they've got some real talent between them.
Absolutely agree, but isn't that always the case.? Get players to stay and this squad can really do something.
Can't remember your normal residence SNZ.? Is it Rotorua, or am I mixing you up with other Saints in NZ.?
Whisper it quietly? No way. Scream it from the roof tops whilst pointing and laughing at those impatient bastards not prepared to give him time. Thanks
That's a wee bit harsh. Pulis signs ordinary players because that's all WBA can/will afford. He gets a good return out of them, even if it isn't the most entertaining.

Christchurch is home. Currently working with a local artist exhibiting in Athens. Great to be back in europe, took it for granted for too long. Trying to get tickets to AOK v AEK tomorrow night if anyone has a connection ; )
Great game (1st half, anyhoo). Big praise for Clasie, but most of all Maya and Forster. Two huge rocks proving their doubters wrong. Whole defence was great. However, Long was just awful. Awful.
We're making very hard for those top teams who like to try and rip our heart out at the end of every season to figure out where it is.
When I said it was obvious, I did forget about that swathe of supporters who want Claude out. Personally, as you know, I think he's bloody good. Intelligent manager, and there's not too many of those.
I laugh at your 9% match odds. Actually, it's the pass maps I like most on this, and Hojbjerg always seems to do very well on them.
Agree 100%. We need at least one, if not two more strikers this summer as backup for Manolo. I can't see Long or Rodriguez being here next season, sadly.
I'm not saying what you're saying doesn't have truth in it, but I don't think it's that cut and dried. Look where both clubs were before Pulis went to them. He generally improves them. Then he moves on.
Barely got a mention on SSN, which was good because it meant nothing bad was happening, sounds like Fraser saved us at the end?
